Introduction Trekking in Nepal is a dream adventure for many, with stunning routes like Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, and Langtang Valley. However, the high altitudes pose a risk of Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS), a condition that can affect anyone regardless of fitness level. Understanding AMS, recognizing its symptoms, and following proper acclimatization techniques are essential for a safe and enjoyable trek. What is Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS)? AMS occurs when the body struggles to adapt to lower oxygen levels at high altitudes. It commonly affects trekkers ascending above 2,500 meters (8,200 feet). Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe, life-threatening conditions if ignored. Symptoms of AMS Mild AMS symptoms include: Headache Nausea and dizziness Shortness of breath Fatigue Loss of appetite Severe AMS symptoms, indicating a need for immediate descent, include: Severe headache unrelieved by medication Confusion or difficulty walking Persistent vomiting Shortness of breath even at rest Fluid build-up in the lungs (HAPE) or brain (HACE) How to Prevent AMS: Acclimatization Strategies The best way to avoid AMS is through proper acclimatization. Follow these guidelines: 1. Follow the "Climb High, Sleep Low" Rule This golden rule means ascending during the day and descending to a lower altitude for the night. It helps the body adjust gradually. 2. Schedule Acclimatization Days Treks like Everest Base Camp, Annapurna Circuit, and Langtang Valley include built-in acclimatization days at key points, such as: Namche Bazaar (3,440m) – Acclimatization day with a short hike to Everest View Hotel.

This year too, about 70 species of birds have come to Kositappu. Still, more than a hundred species of birds could have come so far in the previous years, says Ornithologist Anish Timsina. "Even though there is still time for birds to arrive, there has been a decrease compared to previous years," says Timsina. Like the Great Silesian Duck, many other birds have stopped coming to the Kositappu Wildlife Sanctuary. Although there is a representative presence in terms of species, Timsina says that the decrease in the number of foreign tourist birds is worrying. Timsina says that the municipality must realize that biological diversity is an important part and work. "Human settlement and harassment by human behavior may be the main reason for the decrease in the number of tourist birds," said Rajkumar Singh, Chairman of the Intermediate Area Management Committee of the Kositappu Wildlife Reserve.

Learn more about this sacred site through our comprehensive guide, which explores its history, attractions, and religious significance. Learn about the History of the Boudhanath Stupa. The Boudhanath Stupa is believed to have been erected in the 14th century when the Tibetan king Songtsen Gampo converted to Buddhism. As legend has it, King Songsten brought pieces of a copper structure from India and placed them on top of a mound here. This was then surrounded by brickwork and decorated with colorful prayer flags, creating the iconic stupa you see today. The five Buddha eyes painted on the Boudhanath Stupa represent the all-seeing nature of enlightenment. The four pairs of eyes each have a different meaning too: Buddha Eyes, signifying wisdom; Dharma Eyes, symbolizing teaching and practice; Sangha Eyes, representing training within a community; and Protective Eyes, standing for compassion and peace. Enclosed between these eyes are three Buddhist symbols – dharma wheels, vases of abundance, and lotus flowers. These signify protection from suffering and liberation from greed, hatred, and ignorance. It is said that the remains of Kassapa Buddha are enshrined in the stupa.
